6d1506e788 ath10k: introduce dynamic vdev parameters
Both firmwares (main and 10.x) have different set of vdev
parameters. To stay in sync with FW API, this patch introduces
a dynamic registering method.

ath10k_wmi_vdev_set_param() takes now indirect u32 value
to identify the Vdev parameter it want's to set.

5e00d31a0f ath10k: bring back the WMI path for mgmt frames
This is still the only way to submit mgmt frames in case
of 10.X firmware.

This patch introduces wmi_mgmt_tx queue, because of the
fact WMI command can block. This is a problem for
ath10k_tx_htt(), since it's called from atomic context.
The skb queue and worker are introduced to move the mgmt
frame handling out of .tx callback context and not block.

1f8bb1518e ath10k: use msdu headroom to store txfrag
Instead of allocating sk_buff for a mere 16-byte
tx fragment list buffer use headroom of the
original msdu sk_buff.

This decreases CPU cache pressure and improves

Measured improvement on AP135 is 560mbps ->

0a89f8a01d ath10k: decouple HTT TX completions
Until now the all MSDU transfer related structures
were freed when all resources were unreferenced.

Now HTC transfer is freed independently and HTT
transfer is so too.

This yields a way more simpler ath10k_skb_cb and
should possibly enable parallel pipe processing
(which is now serialized in
ath10k_pci_process_ce routine).

The peer PHY mode for 11ac operation needs to be determined
